I would suggest looking briefly at the raw IMAP protocol. It makes the protocol nasty, but every command gets a unique token so that requests and responses are asynchronous. I would presume this is why someone like Andy will question the larger scalability of the protocol given its complexity and how the asynchronous nature of rich email is built right into the protocol instead of having the client create multiple HTTP connections in a REST style.
not just Andy :-) there are quite a few of us, now... IMAP is broken. a new RESTful protocol is needed. an advanced server capable of supporting both a next generation protocol and IMAP would be very cool - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
